A Publisher and His Friends

CHAPTER II
9/15

But Money, Money must not be spared in respect to rich, beautiful, and interesting Engravings.

On this I have something to communicate.

Encourage Dagley, [Footnote: The engraver of the frontispiece of "Flim-Flams."] whose busts of Seneca and Scarron are pleasingly executed; but you will also want artists of name.

I have a friend, extremely attached to literature and the fine arts, a gentleman of opulent fortune; by what passed with him in conversation, I have reason to believe that he would be ready to assist by money to a considerable extent.

Would that suit you?
How would you arrange with him?
Would you like to divide your work in _Shares_?
He is an intimate friend of West's, and himself too an ingenious writer.
How came you to advertise 'Domestic Anecdotes'?
Kearsley printed 1,250 copies.
